First off I want to mention that this is my first ever base deign thread so please cut me some slack

The Eclipse

The Eclipse offers a transformer base that is a perfect fit for any Town Hall 9 players looking for a base for Clan Wars

Now featuring updated defense logs

My clan has a trophy push starting May 1st so more defensive logs will be coming out!
As my Clannies would say, "This base f*cks sh*t up!"

Pros:

-Features an Anti-Hog Ring which will be troublesome for any Hog users
-Two Air Defenses and all of my air bombs in the core do a great job against Balloons and Dragons
-Giant Bombs are placed next to each other to help halt any Hog-Rider attacks
-4 places where double giant bombs may be make it hard for Hog attackers to plan where to attack
-Strategic funneling will cause giants to fly off of the map
-No free buildings making it harder to lure heroes and Clan Castle troops out
-Not a generic base and attackers will not know trap placement and tesla placement

Cons:

-Clan Castle and Heroes are lurable

Trophy Version




Farming Version - Note - feel free to swap the spell factory in the core for any other building. I only put it there to keep most of my buildings symmetric. Also the Clan Castle can be swapped with the Dark Elixir





Trap Placement - Note- the builders' huts occupy the other possible placement of the giant bombs.





Defense Placement - Yes, I consider my always-filled Clan Castle as a defense






Defense Logs -Sorry for lack of serious raids, this base is relatively new :/



NOTE* The losses were because I was using the farming version and my town hall was on the outside





Clan Wars Defenses - It took 21 max wizards, 2 golems, full spells, and both heroes to barely get 1 star, and a strong balloon-drag-minion combo failed! They even had time to plan these attacks!!





Overall Ending Comments

- Unlike most of the popular Transformer bases for TH9, this base is completely new and fresh as they like to say, thus meaning that the attacker will have never faced this base and will be unaware of trap placement and tesla placement (unless of course they stumble across this thread).

- Also, many people will request that I try to center the clan castle so please know that I am working on it but the shape of the core makes it tough.

- Lastly Please leave any thoughts or comments about my first ever base design thread (Try to keep it positive; nothing rude please, Thanks)

Shoutout to my Clan - Crucible Envy - We FSU!

This works great!

I like this base, my suggestion for making it more war savvy would be to find a way to place all 4 ads in the center, an experienced dragon user could easily destroy the two outer ads with aq/hogs, and then proceed to use dragons with rage spells (and maybe a freeze spell if its a th 10) to wipe the base. Right now dragons are the new best option, unless you are experienced with gowipe/gowiwi and are willing to spend the de. For a purely trophy base its perfect as is, not many people carry a full army of dragons around with them when farming/trophy hunting

It'd be tough to get all ad in core..

Still like base layout and still using it, even the CC is not centered (actually working on a center modification for my own, maybe i publish it in here).

Still works great in lower thropy range (around 1700-1800+) even on a not maxed base like mine There are nights where this layout is pushing me from 1800 to 2000+ trophies, cause ppl don't hit the 40% (ok, there are trophy droppers too in my history).

Keep working on it Thanks for the layout!

Good to hear

Would this base defend me in Master 3 against giant armies and hogs? Thanks My current base loses 20 trophies every defense guaranteed and is not reliable...

^^ This. I use similiar design in CW previously. 2x AD in core, 2x AD at outer layer. What attacker did:
- use 3-5x hogs for each of the 2x AD at outer layer.
- 3x lightning core 1x AD, depending on the CC position.
- release all dragons at the other side nearer to the last AD, and use CC to pull the dragon in.
- If TH9, another extra rage spell.

I was 3 starred, with 4x L6 AD. Coming from maxed TH8 buildings.
